Dear Mr. Seeger: 

This is in response to your letters of May 16, 1989 to 

Jeff Cohen and to David Weil concerning the OAQPS draft staff 

paper for lead and the draft supplement to EPA air quality 

criteria for lead, respectively. 

Because of our desire for full participation of all 

interested parties, we will honor the request that you made on 

behalf of the Lead Industries Association, Inc. (LIA) for an 

additional two week period in which to submit comments on the two 

documents. 

We look forward to receiving LIA's comments on or before 

June 12, 1989. 

Sincerely, 

v-Ajohn H. Haines

Re: Draft OAQPS Staff Paper 

Dear Mr. Cohen: 

On behalf of Lead Industries Association, Inc. (LIA), 

I respectfully request an extension of two weeks, until June 12, 

1989, of the deadline for commenting on the Draft OAQPS Staff 

Paper for Lead set by the notice appearing at 54 Fed. Reg. 14677, 

April 12, 1989. A request for the same extension with respect to 

Comments on the Draft Supplement to the Air Quality Criteria for 

Lead is simultaneously being directed to the Environmental 

Criteria and Assessment Office. 

Upon receipt of the Federal Register notice that 

Comments would be accepted on the two documents, LIA requested 

medical and modelling experts to review and prepare comments on 

the documents. Because of the pressure of other commitments and 

the large number of technical questions presented by the documents, it is unlikely that these experts will be able to complete 

their work in time for LIA to meet the May 29 deadline for filing 

Comments. 

Since the two documents will have a strong bearing on 

the question of whether the lead NAAQS are to be revised, they 

are of considerable importance to LIA's members and it is essential to LIA that it have an adequate amount of time in which to 

comment on them. A short two-week extension of the Comment 

deadline should not interfere materially with EPA's regulatory 

process and we therefore respectfully request that it be granted. 

Sincerely yours, 

farlt 

Edwin H. Seeger
